Okay, I typed net start, and it says "the command was completed successfully." Then I tried net use and the other commands, and it told me "Error 3787: You must logon before performming this operation." So I tried net logon..."Error 3547: You cannot do this from within an MS-DOS window." Are the NET commands just for LANs? If I understood correctly, I should be able to use the NET commands to connect to other computers...So I could use net use and then the person's IP address and connect to a shared resource...I just have to play around with it a little more and read some more information.
